Eagle Gun Club. 
Only ore gunner out of the ten who faced the 
traps in the weekly live bird event of the Eagle Guv 
Club shot a straight score yesterday at Manoa. Jack 
son, firing from a 29-yards rise, was that individual, he 
grassing every one of his ten flyers without the sem¬ 
blance of a miss. Jackson, however, had to shoot at 
a perfect clip to win the special prize of five dollars, 
for Felix and Smith, both 30-yard men, brought down 
nine birds each and shared up second money. 
Redman, McLaughlin, Black and Emerson with 8 
kills apiece tied for third-place coin. The club will hold 
an all-day Christmas shoot on Thursday open to all, 
the conditions being miss and out, with a watch as 
the principal prize. Scores:

Baltusrol Golf Club. 
Newark, December 21, 1913. 
The clay pigeon traps of the Baltusrol Golf had 
little attraction for the members yesterday in compari¬ 
son with the line of the golf course. The fine weather 
brought more than one hundred to the links, while 
but three sought to break the clay birds. The take 
home trophy was won by J. F. Hahn, who competed 
against Henry A. Barclay and E. A. Knapp.
